  Quick suggestion, use N'' prefix, then the SQL Server automatically uses UTF-16

  😎

  USE tempdb;

  GO

  SET NOCOUNT ON;

  IF OBJECT_ID(N'dbo.TABLE1') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE dbo.TABLE1;

  CREATE TABLE dbo.TABLE1

  (

  XXXX varchar(255) NULL

  ,Data xml NULL

  ,Last_modified datetime NULL

  );

  INSERT INTO dbo.TABLE1(XXXX,Data,Last_modified)

  VALUES ('INSERT THIS AS UTF-16',N'<IDC>??(DS3?DS4)-??/??????</IDC>',GETDATE());

  SELECT

  T1.XXXX

  ,T1.Data

  ,T1.Last_modified

  FROM dbo.TABLE1 T1;

  Results

  XXXX Data Last_modified

  ----------------------- ------------------------------------------ -----------------------

  INSERT THIS AS UTF-16 <IDC>??(DS3?DS4)-??/??????</IDC> 2015-09-07 18:42:00.393
